Expert Meeting: Alternatives to the House Museum Model - 4 Case Studies
Sadly, many residential masterpieces quietly disappear as time goes by. However precious they may be, preserving them through multiple generations is never easy because they are private properties. In numerous countries worldwide, many owners of significant 20th-century houses are looking for ways to preserve this emerging heritage. These presentations are designed to suggest new strategies to ensure that the architectural integrity of such houses is secured for future generations. We give the stage to four organizations that have developed alternative approaches to the house-museum model to safeguard the residential icons of the 20th century.
Speaker: Architect Peter McMahon, Founder of the Cape Cod Modern House Trust, Wellfleet USA.
